anybody know more games that are assholes to the player
i'm talking stuff like mario sunshine's pachinko/lilypad levels, mother 1's bullshit grindiness, pikmin 1's glitchiness and 2's tendency to drop bomb rocks on your head, that sort of thing

because OH my god
i love that.

this is 100% not sarcasm all of the games i just listed are some of my all time favorites
i really love this sort of thing and i just realized that's probably the #1 reason that i love all of those games

also ac gc's villagers stealing shit from you, stuff like that i love it

pmdrt's 99 floor dungeons that start you back at level 1 and force you to come up with a strategy based on what the rng gives you, especially purity forest where you couldn't even bring items

i LOVE it

ALSO rt's bullshit enemies like you're on floor fuckin 80 or smth on one of these and then an azumarill with rollout comes along and eats up every single reviver seed you have, or there's electrode cornering you and they use sonicboom on you and just knock your hp back so fast

nothing will ever be funnier than that one time i got teleported in one of these dungeons RIGHT next to a togepi

said togepi proceeded to use sheer cold and landed
i DID have reviver seeds on hand but it was glorious

I'm a chuckster!

taking bs from video games is actually one of my favorite things ever
it makes me so dang happy and that's probably dumb because it's supposed to piss you off but i just adore it to a level that no one else probably does

i might occasionally add to this thread i love this sort of thing
the chao system in the SA games is so cryptic you have to basically guess what you're doing if you want a very precise chao (which i like going for)
and i find that really fun
less bs than the others but still good
